and excitement to an existing product or on a new

WHY YOU SHOULD USE SHOWCASE ENCLOSURES

smooth die-cast 2" flange mounting
• ExDirect saves you money because you buy direct. As an
aluminum
OEM, you buy the same enclosure over and over again so
there is no reason to have a distributor or representative
in the loop, they just add cost.
• ExDirect enclosures are die-cast so they have a smooth
Tamper and uniform finish that really make your product shine!
resistant
cover set • The windows in ExDirect enclosures have been optimized
screw for viewing angle and maximum diameter. This makes it
4 mounting easy for customers to see the display and for you to use
bosses the biggest display possible.
4 cast
mounting • 2" mounting flanges are standard on all enclosures
rails
• Our larger enclosures are available with an electronics
housing insert for convenient mounting of electronics. It
mounts to cast rails on the inside of the enclosures so
there is no need for costly and unwieldy stand-offs. It is
maximized viewing angle
also designed to mount as close to the glass as possible
with large window size to optimize viewing angle.
• All ExDirect enclosures carry all the important worldwide
electronics housing insert
approvals: FM, CSA, ATEX, and IEC Ex
mounts right on cast rails
• ExDirect enclosures are available with a glass window or
a solid cover.

SHOWCASE ENCLOSURES BRING NEW LIFE TO YOUR PRODUCT

• If you’ve made significant improvements to your product’s electronics, how will customers quickly see the newness if you
house it in the same old enclosure?
• Maybe your product sales have slipped because it is starting to look obsolete. Have salespeople lost interest in promoting
it? A new, modern looking enclosure will bring your product back to life and get salespeople interested in promoting it.
• Maybe your existing product does not have all the approvals it needs. With ExDirect you get all the important approvals
on one standard enclosure. You don’t have to stock different versions for different countries.
